*COPAC records [British Library] a somewhat similar publication from the Jesuit Collegio Romano in 1847, for students of philosophy. This prospectus is particularly interesting for the description of the course on photography, discussing the work of Fox Talbot and Verignon, and especially the chemistry of daguerrotypes, a mere five years after the first announcements by Daguerre and Fox Talbot, and in the same year as the latter's 'Pencil of Nature'.
